Why you'd want to live in Battle Ground
Picture a walkable Main Street lined with coffee roasters, taprooms, and boutiques—then zoom out to rolling acreage, u-pick farms, and vineyards like Rusty?Grape and Heisen?House just five minutes away. Weekends kick off with the Saturday farmers market and often end at Battle?Ground?Lake State?Park, a spring-fed crater lake popular for paddleboarding and lazy-afternoon swims. New craft breweries share the block with long-time diners, and annual events like Harvest?Days turn the whole town into a parade route. If you’re after elbow room, small-town friendliness, and a straight 30-minute shot to Vancouver or Portland, Battle?Ground should be on your radar.
